Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you height of 4 feet 9 inches and and you want to increase it more, well height of a person increases by the time epiphyseal plates in the long bones don't fuse and these plates ideally fuse around 21 years of age. Need not to worry. As you are close to 21 still chances of growth are there but less. Once these plates fuse then there is no further growth. Once you will be above certain age there are no medicines/ products that can change your height. I would suggest you to use shoe lifts and maintain good posture. You should take healthy diet such as protein rich diet like soya, groundnut, pulses, etc.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
